>  In the early 20th Century, Thomas Edison was spreading the 
> word about electricity. Once, while vacationing out West, he 
>  stopped at the Sioux reservation. Edison was shocked to learn 
>  that there was no indoor plumbing, and that he would have to
> use an outhouse. In fact, he was told, the Sioux had to use 
>  the outhouse regardless of the weather. To help the Sioux, 
> Edison installed lights in the outhouse. With this kind act, 
>  he became the first person to wire a head for a reservation.
